People Like Us

Do you remember the first time that we met?
You were cold as a ghost in a basement
You wanted nothing to do with me or the world around you
You said I’m not someone you wanna waste your time on
I said you’re not someone I wanna say goodbye to

Funny feeling how it all can flip
Picking you up really picks me up
Look at how we turned a spark into a flame
Lighting you up really lights me up
And all the pills and sympathy
Won’t replace what you know you need
I know it feels like you’ve got nothing
Bet you didn’t know you were all I see

You said you’re damaged merchandise
And I’ll pay the price, if I let you in
You can go and try to push it off all you want
But I’m never giving up
I’ll show you what you’re worth

You said I’m not someone you wanna waste your time on
I said you’re not someone I wanna say goodbye to
If you’re a fire then I wanna burn

Funny feeling how it all can flip
Picking you up really picks me up
Look at how we turned a spark into a flame
Lighting you up really lights me up
And all the pills and sympathy
Won’t replace what you know you need
I know it feels like you’ve got nothing
Bet you didn’t know you were all I see

Have I accepted that I will never trust again
When I can't even seem to trust myself?
How am I ever gonna trust again?
Why do I stay on the roads that keep leading me
Right back through the hell I've been?
There’s a difference between giving up
And knowing when you've had enough
Maybe I'm addicted to you because the best kinds
Of drugs are other people like us

I found out the best kinds of drugs are people just like us

Funny feeling how it all can flip
Picking you up really picks me up
Look at how we turned a spark into a flame
Lighting you up really lights me up
And all the pills and sympathy
Won’t replace what you think you need
I know it feels like you’ve got nothing
Bet you didn’t know you were all I see
